I can honestly say that of all my moments, 3 were all my fault and of course all involved speed. All the others were by dumb people who do not check their mirrors, cut through round abouts, run giveway and stop signs.
I ride like an idiot because I choose too, but I also slow at most intersections because I also choose not to t-bone some idiot in a car that can drive with his/her head up arse in a tin can. A friend of mine was t-boned (in a car luckily), the driver went through a speed and red light camera to hit him!
Like most riders, I consider myself invisable to the average car driver and hope that most camera's are the same. I wear really good quality gear 98% of the time and this is reflected in the fact I have been let off by 3 police officers (after checking license, rego and gear).
If you want to ride a bike properly, I reccomend moving out of VIC to NSW or ACT.
